I have a problem setting up Intel PRO / Wireless 2200BG on Asus
A3500N machine running FreeBSD 6.0. I tried to follow instructions
at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html but they are
ok up till some point. I've installed iwi-firmware as needed and
dmesg shows right wireless adapted at booting.
First problem: No iwicontrol installed and I can't find anywhere.
But the interface is up anyway.
Second problem: sysctl dev.iwi.0.radio shown my card is running but
the led on the computer is not on - so is it really on? I guess yes
if ifconfig iwi0 returns:
iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::212:f0ff:fe86:724c%iwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether 00:12:f0:86:72:4c
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid mcstudio channel 1
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 100
protmode CTS
Final problem when I tried to connect to AP by:
ifconfig iwi0 ssid mcstudio wepkey 0x6f73696f6c wepmode on
I received:
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
What's that how to solve these problems??
Thanks
